British upper house election, 1854

The British upper house election, 1854 was held on 1 January 1854, when new peers were elected to the House of Lords. The Whigs regained some of the seats that they had lost as a result of their proportional representation reforms, with the reactionary Tory Party gaining strength as the result of backlash against the new liberal policies. The Conservative Party again lost several seats in the parliament.
